New camp for SAF personnel at Shoalwater Bay Training Area

Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) personnel got a taste of a new base in the recent Exercise Wallaby in Queensland, Australia. Camp Tilpal was designed to take advantage of the training area, which has been expanded to five times the size of Singapore. About 6,200 personnel took part in the exercise spread over nine weeks, starting from Sep 8. Nicolas Ng looks at how the SAF finds ways to make it a home away from home.
